Help! For some reason, I have lost access to all my shared drives. This occurred when I was adding an additional share drive name and somehow the configuration page for the file shares disappeared. I managed to ssh to the machine and found that /dev/md1 apparently is not mounted for some reason. Any advise on how to best proceed? I'm hesistant to make a mistaken in which I will loose the data on the unmount array.

thanks for answering. I'm afraid I have not tried manually mounting the drive but I have run the mount command and it only shows /dev/md0 and other ram associated mounts have been mounted. Looking into fstab, I don't see any reference to /dev/md1

By the way the home page of the weblogin for the Terastation strangely shows the drives as "Unformated" and when the system starts up and detects the other drive, it displays "Single" on the LCD.

I'll try to post the full mount and ps aux later when I get to the machine.

mount -t xfs /dev/md1 /mnt/array1mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/md1, or too many mounted file systems (could this be the IDE device where you in fact use ide-scsi so that sr0 or sda or so is needed?)

You are missing the raid5 daemon. I can see the raid1 daemon for the root filesystem. Were you running the default raid 5 setup with which it was provided? If you were there should be an entry for raid5d too.

the strangest thing! I noticed that the mdadm.conf file in /etc was blank and when I tried to write to it, the write attempt failed. So what I did was I deleted some user data which was in directories in /home. After which, I found that I could write to the /etc/mdadm.conf file again. A reboot and I was able to manually mount /dev/md1 to /mnt/array1.

In a way, the crisis to get the data out has been averted but there still is the need to find out what is wrong. What I plan to do is first to move the data off, try to find out what went wrong, then wipe the Terastation to its factory default state. Any idea whats the best way to reset the Terastation Pro to a default or factory state?
